The green color is from undigested bile produced by the liver and stored in the gall bladder – it just means that your GI tract is moving things along too quickly. So the color in and of itself is not unusual with severe diarrhea

It’s looks like the signs of stomach flu, best thing you can do is let it all out both ways, if you can stand it (try REALLY hard) to drink a bottle of Gatorade and eat a slice of toast. the Gatorade has electrolytes which the poop soup is depleating. The toast is so you have something to digest, if you feel like your going to barf, I know it’s harder than it sounds, but let it out.

7-up works because it’s slightly acidic but much less acidic than the stomach acid, so it slowly brings the ph closer to normal. Unlike if you took a strong base, the large change would likely MAKE you barf.

A doctor I worked for many years ago advised letting the GI system rest if it is mad at you. Just sips of water. The idea of course is that it is inflamed-let it rest and heal-top and bottom. And I can’t believe no other flutherite has ever had this.

I agree with the dye in the foods. Captain Crunch has caused my daughter to have green stools. With the runs, just drink plenty of water and see if it passes and if it doesn’t go see the doctor if it persists.

I don’t think I have seen a question this moderated since the CIA question!
If you still have the runs, regardless of color, you should really get to the ER soon.
Take your finger and poke your arm or your leg. If it leaves a white indentation then you are dehydrated. You may need IV fluids. As funny as this question is, you should really take this seriously. Dehydration can kill you.

Well, if you eat spinach you get green poo. But the solution could be even simpler. Are you David Banner? Cause if you’ve been very angry (I know, I don’t want to make you angry), I bet you’ve got some Hulk doodle there, buddy. All I can say is, don’t eat when you are angry. Especially not spinach. Being the Hulk eating spinach, I’d bet that shit glows in the dark.

Seriously though @PooperDood, when your intestines let out water instead of solids, you have taken too long to get help!

It’s time for Imodium to end the diarrhea NOW. Get to your local 24hr pharmacy. Take one dosage immediately. If you don’t receive relief overnight get to an ER in the AM. This is not a joking matter if this is a real question.

If it is a bacterial infection is causing the diarrhea (and from the limited info it sounds like it maybe) taking imodium would not be recommended. Diarrhea is the bodies way of eliminating the bacteria and imodium will only stop the body from getting rid of the infection.

@avvoooooooMe not so mean! He can have white, yellow, orange, red frosting and lots of chocolate. He must react to the blue & green though. Spent plenty o’ nights awake with him ill before I put 2 & 2 together. Ewwwwww!

@Val123Some kids with ADD react (hyper) to dyes, too. Why? I’m sure it’s just the fact that these are chemicals not intended to be injested by some. It took me until last x-mas to figure out it was dye. He had eaten well all day. Then, had 3 green spritz cookies I’d made…I spent the x-mas night with him on the couch and the puke bowl until 3 or 4am. (That was after he filled his little potty with light green poo!) Lesson learned! ;)

@SpatzieLoverI’m glad you figured it out! The scaredest I’ve ever been was when, as a new mom, my 18 month old had purple poop. Well, I soon learned that kids eat things they really shouldn’t oughta. Like crayons!

I just searched for almost exactly this question, was surprised to find an almost exact match, but hey, that’s the internet. For what it’s worth my watery green ‘poop’ can be easily explained by the excess consumption of red wine the night before. Red wine and Guinness always make me go a different colour, the wateriness is the general result of taking things too far, or ‘beer sh*ts’ to the uninitiated. Try and get some solids in you, the dry toast trick usually works well. If you swear it can’t be booze related as you don’t even have a hangover, come back to me in a couple of hours once the alcohol has worn off and I’ll give you some tips on dealing with the other symptoms :)
